To put a little flesh on this:
- paperconfig/libpaper.postinst call the hook without parameters
- TeX packages' postinsts call it with option "packagename"
and the script does the following (example only for dvips)
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
sourcedir=/usr/share/$1
else
sourcedir=/etc/texmf/dvips
fi
papersize=`ask libpaper`
case $papersize in
list|of|known|papers)
:
;;
*)
error_message #debconf or stderr?
exit 0
esac
sed -e 's/\($pattern_for_papersize\)[anysize]*/\1 $papersize/ \
$sourcdir/config.ps > tempfile
ucf tempfile /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps
